The first steam locomotive to operate in North America with the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement entered service with the Philadelphia and Reading in 1847. More railroads would come to adopt this arrangement in the following decades, finding greater tractive effort in the substantially larger 4-6-0 than in its predecessor; the 4-4-0 American. Bachmann is delighted to bring the 19th Century 4-6-0 to their HO Scale steam locomotive range with authentic prototypical detail, die-cast components, and TCS WOWSound DCC Sound on Board.

Features Include:

• New and existing tooling
• TCS WOWSound DCC equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting
• Dual-mode NMRA compliant decoder for DCC and analog operation
• Keep-Alive device that keeps your engine running during power interruptions due to dirty track or loss of electrical contact
• Warm-white LED headlight with Rule 17 dimming
• Die-cast boiler and chassis
• Roadname-specific stack configurations
